EXAMPLES OF RESULTS
HOF integration (Traficom)
HOF has been successfully integrated into
operation and a lot of work has been
done. HOF is a part of all training.
Looking at the whole railway system in
Finland the actions and operations of FTIA
concerning HOF are on a good level.
Operational planning and
control (FTIA)
Planning of functions has a sound process
and it is adhered to. However there is a
lack in resourses.
HOF integration (FTIA)
Situation at SMS
level is good, but
on the practical side there’s still a
lot work to be done. Especially to
change everyones attitude
Operational planning and control
(Traficom)
Riskanalysis has been done, but residual risks have
not sufficently been taken into account or the need
to analyse risks is not always identified. There are
good examples, but diversity is still too great. This
need a more systematic implementation.
Explore the insights shared at the International Railway Safety Council 2022 event in Seville. Topics covered include safety dialogues, objectives, and processes for enhancing safety culture in the rail industry. Attendees learned about supporting SMS, decreasing misunderstandings, and fostering open discussions to improve safety performance.
